OK, then my thoughts were clearly mistaken.

I have applied to sales and trading for citiquest, perhaps it depends upon the division you apply

Applied to S&T, only did a numerical.

Is anyone else thinking that this could be a huge week in terms of hearing back? Certainly this or next week should be when things really start to kick off!

When did you get your RBS offer and for what division if you don't mind me asking?
Congrats!

Earlier on in the week, maybe Monday. It was for IBD (but they are going to run a non-divisional spring week according to what I was told over the phone)

Similar to RBS I'd say. Not that hard, just had a not too bad of time constraint, meaning you have to be quick, but I suppose that's kinda the case for every numerical.

Regarding the firm that provides the tests - neither, it's some sort of 'unique' thing, but no need to panic over it.

If I recall correctly you didn't have to worry about the overall time remaining, because you had a given amount of time for each separate question, so you didn't have to do much time management beyond trying to figure it out as fast as possible. And regarding the number of questions, I think there were fewer questions. (than 15)
